Around '76 while working in the shipping dept at Wix Filters I met a Gy guy who's family had carts then worked their way to trucking. I mentioned I worked in vulcanizing that's when he realized it was me who worked on their tyres back then.
Yeah whn i moved to GT in 76 i was surprised to see donkey carts with tires ..i think the big wheels ones were mostly used countryside where they didnt have ‘pitch’ roads
